Shadows Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair
Shadows
I am a shadow
A dark shadow with frozen fire inside
Every glance that falls on me
Is a cannon ball that bears
The colour of toxic aversion
It makes me dark melancholic black
Forbidden is to me the right
To aspire a hide other than black
My thirst and hunger is numbed
Brandishing whips and threatening to flay
Wild tribal dance kicking and stamping
Was performed on my lashed and wealed back
I am dumb having pulled off my tongue
I am blind having been gouged out the eye balls
And deafened by pouring in to the ears molten lead
The fire inside will blaze into an inferno
That will burn down to ashes your fortress
Together with the booty of colourful life
Looted from humble truths
And leaving them as lifeless shadows
Every glance that falls on me Is a cannon ball that bears The colour of toxic aversion....scintillating expression sir. An excellent poem.....top score!
This is a very sad poem. It is terrible to see when lives- whether human or animal, is exploited and treated with cruelty and callousness. A touching write, Parameswaran ji.........10
